3-1 or 1-3

Everyone else should change to the Aussie way - it makes more sense. The important info goes first. How many wickets down is the most important part of the scoreline 9 times out of 10, so it should go first.

Besides, we're the #1 team, so we should be allowed to set these kinds of rules...

So if one lemming jumps off a cliff.......

I prefer the wicket first then runs. The quicker I find out if Clarke is still in or not the better.

 

[Beleg]

Non Aussie here but I like the Aussie system.

Everyone else should change to our way.

I like the way you think.. hahhaha

 

[alternative]

Anyway voted for the existing system, i like it tbh.

4/201 - yes
201/4 - no

 

[Robertinho]

I'd say definitely stick with the Aussie wickets/runs system.

 

[chaminda_00]

I hate the other way, wicketss 1st and runs after thats the way it should be. All the other countries should do it the other way. Also all speed clocks should be changed to KPM, everytime i see MPH i have to do some maths and thats not a good thing.

I don't know where vote in the poll TBH, my passport say Australian, but my heart says someone esle.

As it's been said, it all depends on where you're brought up viewing cricket, I suppose. Aussies (generally) would always prefer the 5 wickets 400 runs method.

For us Poms, that translates to "140 runs 8 wickets"

A tad generous, I thought it was more like 110 all out lol

4/200 is just ********.

200/4 makes more sense.

Best discussion ever though.

 

[Langeveldt]

all the other countries arent following the same route, so its hardly 'a few whingers'. Its pretty much equivalent to the USA trying to be unique by not using the conventional celsius system for their temperature

The USA has different procedures and names for absolutely everything in Aviation, even what you say when you wait at the runway for clearance.. There is no way it will ever change either, and it makes the Aussie scoring system for cricket look nothing..

I'd rather everything was standardised, but it never will be

 

[Neil Pickup]

Why not keep those eight ball overs too?

I agree, it annoys me when the Aus/SA commentators say things that don't make sense to me. Why can't they just speak in the proper way

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Its very confusing, change it. Change it now.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Could I change my vote somehow, because I've manage to put it in the wrong box on closer inspection.
